NEGRO BAPTISTS MEET.
\
State Convention of Negyo Baptist?/ 19
of South Carolina in Annual V
Session in Newberry. ,<?
The Scare convention of negro baptists
of South Carolina convened Wed- fl
nesday in the 40th annual session in
the Betr.Iehem Baptist church in Newberry.
The convention is composed of
the representatives from the negro V
Baptist churches and auxiliary bodies f
from every section of tf:e Siate, rep- .V
resenting an app-roximate membership
of 260,000. The efforts of the organi- W
zation are directed towards the fostering
of the causes of home and for- H
eign missions, education, temperance M
and Sunday schools* And while gath- fl
ering is not as largely attended as
it was last year, due undoubtedly to
the financial stringency, evidence is
by no means wanting that there will
be no abatement of interest and re- "
suit in any of these causes. fl
At 10 a. m. the convention was J|
called to order at which time the inj
troductory sermon was preached by
the Rev. J. S. Daniels of Chester. ^
Organization was effected by the W
reelection of the following officers:
I President, the Rev. J. J. Durham, ^
LL. D., Columbia; vice president, the '
\ Rev. G. W. Ralford, D. D., Aiken;
I secretary, the Rev. H. Watkins, D. D., |
SBelton; treasurer, the Rev. E. W.
Bowens, Spartanburg. The Rev. Dr.
A. R. Robinson and the Rev. C. H. 1
Graham, D. D., of Philadelphia, rep- m
resentatives of the foreign mission jm
board of America, addressed the coo. M
vention, after which welcome adj
dresses were made by lMayor Z. P.
| Wright and the Rey. E. P. Jones, D.
' D., of the wlhite Baptist church and fl
1 G. C. Golman and Maud Williams on
! the part of the negro citizens. These
